Woman Refuses Marriage Proposal Because Suitor Doesn’t Like Her Dog

Karishma Walia and her dog Lucy recently dodged a bullet when Karishma discovered her potential husband didn’t want her to keep her dog. Karishma and Lucy live in Bangalore, India, where their story has gone viral, thanks to the darkly funny text exchange Karishma shared online. Long story short: her dog is her priority!

“Having a dog is not a temporary phase. I can’t abandon my dog for anyone.”

When her suitor told her he didn’t want her to keep the dog after their marriage, Karishma immediately called it off. She ended the conversation and shut down the proposal for good—or so she thought. Days later, her suitor resumed texting her, still trying to convince her to dump the dog for him.
